I love all kind of Pilates, but the classical Pilates reminds me of how hard this "stuff" really is It makes me humble. Thank you for the fun variations with the foamroller. And yes, there were times I wanted to throw the foamroller away but afterwards I feel strong and proud. X
Hi Kerry H , great question! I agree with you, I think sometimes it can be a bit tricky to find the right spot for the hip on the roller. You can try to play around to find a sweet spot, and/or put a towel or maybe a thin pillow or something to make it more comfortable for the hip bones. I hope this helps. Again thanks for making this point! xoxo
Joni N You might consider avoiding flexion in a complete flat (supine) position. Use a folded towel behind your back to support your upper thoracic spreading. This might help your flexion forward.
You could also use a bigger support like a spine corrector. They are affordable and may help you find a safe, productive flexion for your spine.
